TARGET PLATE [16 records]

Record 1 2022-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Computer Graphics
  • Photography
CONT

The image recorded on the holographic plate is called a hologram of the target, which carries both the amplitude and phase of the returned, scattered beam from the target. The first exposure of the holographic plate by the reference beam results in a reference hologram, while the second exposure by the returned beam imposes all changes of the target to the reference hologram.

control: The ability of a pitcher to throw a pitch with accuracy, within the strike zone..

OBS

The pitcher tries to throw the ball into the strike zone, which is over the plate and between the batter’s armpits and the top of his knees.

OBS

The pitcher who, during a game, throws all his picthes within a few inches of his target whatever the batter he is facing is said to have "pinpoint control" of his pitching. A pitcher noted to be a "control pitcher" puts all his energy to throw the ball over the plate, sacrificing speed in his throws and junk(variation in the types of pitches)

OBS

Le lanceur s'efforce de lancer la balle à l'intérieur de la zone des prises, c'est-à-dire directement au-dessus du marbre, entre les aisselles du frappeur et au-dessus de ses genoux.

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Machines and Equipment
DEF

The wall separating cells.

OBS

The surface of the anilox roller is defined by the cell wall ratio and the separation of the individual cells by the cell wall, in general a high ratio should be the target. The better the demarcation of the cell through the land areas, the more regular is the successful inking of the image particularly of fine printing elements. The cell wall ratio should be as high as possible so that the surface of the printing plate is clean. In order to achieve a constant ink transfer volume, not only must the cell wall ratio be defined but also the characteristics of the cell wall.

Main Electronic Assembly(MEA). The MEA consists of a frame assembly and an angulation head. The frame assembly includes the radar system control circuits and the electronic components necessary for target detection processing. An AHA [aerial head assembly] mounting plate, attached to the top of the angulation head, secures the AHA to the MEA. A bearing scale indicator, at the base of the angulation head, can be used for checking the bearing settings and arcs. A level bubble permits accurate levelling of the MEA.

Boîtier électronique principal (BEP). Le BEP est constitué d un bâti et d une plate-forme goniométrique. Le bâti comprend les circuits de commande du système radar et les composants électroniques nécessaires au traitement des données de détection d'objectifs. Une plaque de montage de l'antenne, fixée au sommet de la plate-forme goniométrique, retient l'antenne au BEP. Un indicateur d'échelle de relèvement, au bas de la plate-forme goniométrique, peut servir à vérifier les arcs et les réglages de relèvement. Un niveau à bulle permet de mettre le BEP de niveau avec précision.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The Space Shuttle stops within 50 meters of Mir, which is approximately one-half the length of a football field. From that position the Space Shuttle waits for clearance from Mission Control to continue. When the command is given to continue, the Reaction Control System is activated again and the Space Shuttle closes in on Mir at a speed of about 0. 05 meters per second until it reaches a distance of about 9 meters. There, the Space Shuttle stops again and waits for approximately 5 minutes. The Commander and Pilot make sure they can see the docking target clearly and fine-tune the alignment of the Space Shuttle with the docking target. A large black cross called the Stand-off Cross is mounted 30 centimeters(cm) above the back plate in the center of the target. When the Commander has the Stand-off Cross squarely in line with the docking target, he or she maneuvers the Space Shuttle and makes contact with the docking ring. Once a series of hooks is engaged, the Space Shuttle is then successfully docked with Mir.

OBS

docking target: term officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Record 12 2000-12-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optical Instruments
CONT

The Positron Microscope was designed and built to be a hybrid instrument capable of performing several types of positrons and electron microscopy. For both electrons and positrons the microscope can be run in one of two modes : magnifying mode in which particles leaving the target are focussed onto a CEMA plate assembly to form a magnified image and scanning mode in which the amplitude of a signal is recorded as a function of the position(and possibly energy) of the incident beam. As an electron microscope the instrument will be able to operate in both magnifying and scanning(SEM) modes. As a positron microscope, however, source considerations will limit its immediate use to magnifying mode, i. e. positron reemission microscopy.
